[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42 and have seen my mid 50s colleagues fired left and right. One finally landed a decent job about 3 years later. One became a real estate agent. One retired and is trying to write books. I've considered getting an IT related degree myself to stay employable. [/quote] This is it, OP. I went back to school at 49 and finally finished a related-degree at 55 to retool my career. It's been great and I'm glad I did it, but of course hard on both me and my family and not plausible for everyone. [/quote]
